Files on the H-drive are backed up nightly by LTS onto tape, and sent to an off-site storage location. Files on the R-drive will be stored redundantly, so that a single hardware failure will not result in loss. As well, the system does store online snapshots of files daily, which are retained for 7 days after that, but these are part of the same system, so supplemental backup is still recommended.

Full-time faculty get 1 terabyte of space at no cost, and need only to log in (see instructions below). Additional storage will be charged via a Lehigh account. Staff, students, and others may also request access, but must also be charged via a Lehigh account.

R-Drive space cannot be increased or shared with other R-Drive users. It also cannot be combined with a Ceph project space. If Lehigh Faculty need additional space, they will need to purchase a separate Ceph project. More information about Ceph is available on the Ceph FAQ.
